Rather than do that, they decided to hang onto veterans and prospects alike, while hoping the answers remain i...14735Tue, 01 Aug 2023 22:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/4-remaining-right-handed-hitting-corner-outfielders-the-twins-could-pursue-r14728/  A right-handed hitting corner outfielder who hits left-handed pitching well was the Twins' greatest need for the latter part of last off-season and remains so to this day. With right-handed hitting corner outfielders Randal Grichuk, Mark Canha, and AJ Pollock getting traded in the last t...14728Tue, 01 Aug 2023 17:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/it-would-be-silly-for-the-twins-to-trade-away-a-starting-pitcher-r14730/Because of the depth of starting pitching that the Minnesota Twins have this season, a common take from Twins fans this summer has been that the team could afford to trade away some of that starting pitching depth in exchange for hitting or relief pitching. That take has only garnered more...14730Tue, 01 Aug 2023 15:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-dont-need-much-r14726/With the trade deadline in full swing, we—the good fans—anxiously await for our team to deliver us a deal. Like a child on Christmas Eve, we expect to suddenly receive a gift from our dreams; something to play with for a few months before inevitably growing tired and moving on.  For the Twi...14726Tue, 01 Aug 2023 14:15:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/oh-so-now-the-twins-want-to-add-to-their-bullpen-r14723/It’s refreshing to see the Twins try to make some improvements on the trade front as they head into the home stretch of a playoff push. However, it feels painfully predictable that they find themselves with such a need in the first place.  Sure, there is sound logic in a team investing most...14723Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:17:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/3-trades-the-twins-must-make-today-r14732/Deadline day is upon us! The Guardians unfroze Noah Syndergaard from carbonite in time for him to inherit the standard portion of organizational good fortune prior to pitching against Houston. Despite this, Cleveland’s bullpen wilted against an offensive storm from the Astros, and the Twins ente...14732Tue, 01 Aug 2023 12:48:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/should-the-twins-trade-sonny-gray-or-kenta-maeda-r14727/The Twins are in first place, but they're in first place primarily because they are in the worst division in baseball,  But also because their pitching staff has been one of the best in baseball. They rank 2nd in fWAR and FIP and lead the league in innings pitched. They could trade from the star...14727Tue, 01 Aug 2023 11:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2023-trade-deadline-day-primer-what-has-happened-and-what-to-watch-for-r14729/For decades, the Major League Baseball trade deadline has been July 31 at 3pm CT.

Rarely are their moves foreshadowed by media speculation, often coming seemingly out of nowhere. They tend to keep the lid tight, publicly anyway.
